Unless the state (or city) insists on having something low rise on that site, the view will be doomed going forward with any other kind of development.

That's kind of what I was thinking, too - just based on the image Kevin posted in reply 9 of this thread over a year and a half ago:
Aren't we talking about that low-rise blue boxy-looking structure west of the Bob Bullock Museum and east of Cambridge Tower?
FWIW, I like the idea of the underground parking with the sculpture garden on top, too.
